Supplier Compliance

B-BBEE Affidavit vs B-BBEE Certificate

Understand why turnover, ownership and the requesting organisation determine the appropriate B-BBEE document.

B-BBEE supplier-compliance documents

A B-BBEE affidavit and a verification certificate are not interchangeable in every situation. The correct document depends on the entity’s position and the applicable requirements.

Confirm the business category

  • Entity type
  • Relevant annual turnover
  • Ownership information
  • Applicable sector requirements
  • The document requested by the buyer or supplier process

Use accurate information

The document must reflect verifiable company, financial-period and ownership information. Mashimbye Consulting does not prepare unsupported classifications.

Watch the validity period

Review the issue date and the requesting organisation’s requirements before adding the document to a tender or supplier file.

Important

Requirements and processing times depend on complete documents, system availability and the relevant authority. This general information is not an official verification of your company’s status.
